Green Shield Direct Billing Now Available | Nimble Counselling BC
At Nimble Counselling, we hold accessibility as a core part of ethical care. When someone reaches out for support, the process of getting started should feel as calm and uncomplicated as possible. With that in mind, we’re glad to share an update that continues to move us in that direction: Nimble Counselling now offers direct billing through Green Shield.
For many people across British Columbia, insurance logistics can quietly become a barrier to care. Tracking invoices, navigating online portals, and waiting for reimbursement can add friction to an already vulnerable step. By offering direct billing with Green Shield—alongside our existing options such as Sunlife, Pacific Blue Cross and TELUS eClaims—we aim to reduce that extra layer of effort and allow clients to focus on what truly matters: their well-being.
With direct billing in place, eligible clients can attend their counselling session knowing that the claim submission is handled for them. There’s no need to manage paperwork afterward or follow up with insurers on your own. The administrative side is taken care of, creating more room for presence, reflection, and support.

This update is available to clients throughout Vancouver, Victoria, the Lower Mainland, and the many rural and remote communities we serve across British Columbia. Whether you’re attending in-person counselling or accessing online therapy in BC, Green Shield direct billing helps make ongoing care more manageable and financially accessible.
For some, this change can open the door to beginning therapy sooner. For others, it offers relief in the form of simplicity—one less task in an already busy life. We recognize that reaching out for counselling often comes at a tender moment, and we want the process to feel as supportive as possible from the very first step.
Expanding direct billing to Green Shield also reflects Nimble’s broader commitment to thoughtful, trauma-informed care. Our counsellors work from a mind–body perspective, supporting clients to move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. When practical barriers are reduced, the therapeutic relationship has more space to deepen and unfold.
How Direct Billing to Green Shield Works
If your Green Shield benefits include coverage for counselling with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in British Columbia, we can submit claims directly on your behalf at the time of your appointment. You’ll only be responsible for any portion of the session fee that falls outside your coverage.
To use direct billing, simply let your counsellor know before your session begins. They’ll collect the required details and confirm your plan, then take care of submitting claims after each appointment.
Because Green Shield plans can vary, we recommend confirming your specific coverage ahead of time. Checking your annual limits, coverage percentages, and credential requirements directly with Green Shield can help prevent surprises and give you a clear sense of what’s included.
Direct billing through Green Shield is available for both in-person and online counselling sessions. Our intention is to make therapy feel accessible, transparent, and well-supported—wherever you’re located in BC.
Whether you’re starting counselling for the first time or returning after a pause, this update is here to meet you with clarity and ease.
If you have questions or would like to explore working with one of our counsellors, you’re welcome to book a free consultation or reach out to our team at any time. We’re here to support you, at your pace.
